Machine tools are power-operated tools used for finishing or shaping parts. Such tools operate by removing material from a workpiece. Basic machining operations include turning, facing, milling, drilling, boring, broaching, threading, and tapping. In addition, other operations include sawing, grinding, gear cutting, polishing, buffing, and honing. These and other operations performed by such machines generate vibrations. Vibrational energy can be detrimental to accurate and precise operation of the machine, cause the machine to travel across a floor, and create a safety hazard.
